Last game, Faulk played 27:45 and Harrison played 25:26. That's throwing a sophomore d and a 5/6 dman into the fire. And then you have an AHL d-pairing to round out the d. Not saying you guys don't have key losses, just saying our d is pretty brutal right now.

And you can add on Ruutu for the whole season if you like.

Ouch. Sounds like a battle of the decimated lineups. Eager to see how it plays out!
